2Cents Theatre Group will donate a
portion of proceeds from its production of the play “Rent” to benefit four
distinct HIV/AIDS research and support organizations. Kristen Boulé will direct
and Morgan Fitch will provide the musical direction for “Rent,” which opens on
May 24. Beginning on May 30, the group will donate a percentage of each
weekend's gross sales to one of the four organizations.
Proceeds from the play’s May 30–June
2 weekend will benefit the AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA). APLA works to
improve the lives of people affected by HIV, advocate for fair and effective
HIV-related public policy, and reduce the incidence of HIV infection. For more

The group will donate proceeds from
its June 13–16 weekend performances to the AIDS Research Alliance. The alliance
focuses on developing a cure for HIV/AIDS, medical strategies to prevent new
infections, and better treatments for HIV-infected people.
Being Alive will receive a
percentage of the receipts from the group’s June 20–23 performances. This
peer-driven agency for people with HIV/AIDS specializes in education,
supportive services, self-empowerment, and wellness.
Alliance for Housing and Healing,
the fourth recipient organization, will receive proceeds from the June 27–30
performances. The alliance provides basic life necessities for HIV-infected
men, women, children, and families. Alliance for Housing and Healing offers a
safety net of direct supportive services and essential housing.
